The money were meant to pay salaries for civil servants. The attack occurred on Sunday afternoon in the Uvira area of South Kivu.

Six months ago armed men dressed in army uniform stormed the First City Monument Bank in Lekki, Lagos, late in the afternoon of March 12, shooting sporadically.

12 people including four policemen have been killed following the bank robbery in Lagos. The bank is said to be located around the Lekki/Ikoyi bridge.

An eyewitness confirmed that a large number of armed robbers invaded the bank shooting sporadically.

The robbers robbed a bank at Lekki phase 1 and attempted to escape through the link bridge to Ikoyi when they encountered policemen.

Onetime presidential candidate, Chief Olu Falae, who was kidinapped on Monday September 21st by suspected fulani herdsmen and released on Thursday September 24th, has confirmed that a ransom was paid by his family members for his release.

Speaking to journalists at his home in Akure, Ondo state today Sept. 28th, Falae said his abductors threatened to kill him on Wednesday September 23rd at about 3pm if the ransom was not paid but thankfully 20 minutes to 3pm, his abductors came to him and told him"the money don complete".

"There were six of them with three or four guns and every half an hour or so they will say, ‘Baba we are going to kill you, if you don’t give us money we are going to kill you. On Wednesday, one of them came and said ‘look we are going to leave here on Thursday morning. Since we cannot leave you here alone, if we don’t get what we want we are going to kill you. And they said they gave me until 3pm and if at 3pm they don’t get the money they would execute me. I thank God that at 21 minutes to 3pm, one of them came and said, ‘the money don complete’.”he said

Narrating how he was kidnapped, Falae said “When the hoodlums came, they slashed me with their cutlasses, they said I was not cooperating. And they dragged me barefooted into the bush. After dragging me around for about two hours, they stopped somewhere for us to rest and there they asked me to phone my wife and tell her that I have been kidnapped and taken out of Ondo State by car which was a lie. It was about 2.30pm on Monday, We started walking with very few stops until 2am the following morning. I suspect that I must have covered a minimum of 15km. That morning I did not take anything. So all day I had no food, no water and I walked close to 15km. How I survived I cannot really remember. I had no food in my stomach, I had no shoes, my clothes were torn to shreds. At some point one of them gave me a rubber slippers. We walked until about 2am. At some point they called for an Okada. At about 2.30am the Okada man took me way down I had no clue where we were going. Finally they dumped me somewhere, where I was until I was released on Thursday. In that place we all slept on the floor on leaves, unfortunately the rain came in the night and I was thoroughly drenched where I was lying down. One of them brought a small umbrella to cover my head, my head was covered, but the rest of my body was not covered. They offered me bread, but I told them I could not eat it. I demanded for a bottle of coke, which was what I drank every day to have the requisite strength to survive and to continue on the march, because they were permanently moving. They were changing locations at two to three times a day. I suspect because they did not want the police to succeed in tracing them. So the following morning they said I should go. One of them took ropes to stitch my buba which was already in tatters, so that it could at least stay on me and I wound not look like a lunatic while leaving that place. So when I came out of the bush, I was able to find an Okada, a man riding bike, who gave me a lift to Owo. The place was about 10km from Owo town. The place was between Owo and Ifon. And I walked most of the distances between my farm to that place and as the farrow flies, that is about 25km that we had to trek. As I said miraculously I was not tired, I was not hungry and I was not afraid of them at all. Each time they said, ‘Baba we will kill you,’ I will tell them, ‘no, insha Allah, you will not kill me’. I did not break down, but I want to tell you that when I got back home I became completely exhausted. But I am now 80 per cent fit and I know in the next few days I will be up again.”he said

He decried the level of insecurity in the country

“It is not because of me. As for me, I am a very humble person, but by virtue of what God has made me and the status God has given me, it is an insult to our race that a man like me could be abducted by a bunch of hoodlums. By the way, one of them told me, he said, ‘Baba, if after you leave us you talk nonsense I will come and catch you again’. That is the kind of insult I received. Only two of them could speak some English. They were between the ages of 25 and 35. They were Fulani, they spoke Hausa.”he said

According to Falae, his kidnap is not unconnected with a clash with some Fulani herdsmen who consistently grazed at his farm.

“The cattle rearers have been giving me a hard time for the past two or three years. Because I have a dam on the farm, so they like to bring their cattle there to drink water, then they eat other people’s crops. This time they ate up my maize farm, two hectares. We took pictures, and it was videoed, the police went there. They were asked to pay compensation, they begged and paid half of what we claimed and we accepted it. That was about two months ago. Whether it was one of them who went to bring his brothers to come and deal ‘with this wicked man’, I don’t know. It is plausible. Absolutely plausible. My view is that this is my home. I have not gone to farm in any other person’s territory. This is my home where I was born. I have every right to farm here and live in peace here. So, this is totally unacceptable. I once told the Commissioner of Police that if he cannot protect us and protect my farm, that I will protect myself. There will be self-help if government fails to protect its citizens. It would have been unfortunate if that were to happen. The IG met me and gave me assurances that they will give us protection. I hope that we as a community in Ondo State and in Yoruba land as a whole must go into consultation to ensure that we enhance our protection. We cannot be slaves in our own territory. These fellows were permanently on the move. Day and night they were walking he said

A Police Inspector identified as Samuel Timothy was today sentenced to death by hanging by a Rivers state High Court for shooting and killing a sachet water dealer, Onyekachi Nwasouba at No. 34, Old Aba Road, Port Harcourt on November 10th 2010.

According to court documents, the deceased who is a graduate of Industrial Chemistry was wrongfully shot at and killed by a team of police officers led by Inspector Timothy after they wrongfully branded the deceased an armed robber.

They shot at him despite his repeated plea that he was not an armed robber but only a sachet water dealer. In a three hours ruling, the trial judge, Justice Adolphus Enebeli, said that the convict (Timothy) demonstrated an act of inhumanity through his action.

He said the testimonies given by witnesses at the scene of the incident, pointed to the fact that Timothy was an “Inhuman, trigger-happy policeman, who engages in murder; a hater of humankind and a merciless killer.”

“According to Section 319 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I do not have the power to reduce your sentence. That, you, Inspector Timothy Sampson be hanged on your neck until you are dead,” he said. Timothy who had served in the Nigeria Police for 33 years was due for retirement in the next two years when this incident happened.

"Presidents, thank you for making the promise to end Aids by 2030. Please keep your promise," he said.

Elijah added that an essential step in combatting the epidemic is to erase the stigma attached to those with HIV.

Every Catholic Priest who sexually abuses children will be punished henceforth.
This is according to Pope Francis, who, on Monday, admitted that Catholic Church hierarchies tried to cover up for priests with sex crime tendencies.

Pope Francis encouraged officials not to issue marriage licenses to gay couples

According to a report on Vanguard, the Pope who spoke to reporters on the return flight from Philadelphia to Rome, at the end of his pilgrimage to Cuba and the United States, noted that abusing children was “almost a sacrilege’’ and a betrayal of the call of God for a priest.
He added: “And those who have covered up these things are also guilty, even some bishops have covered up, it is a very bad thing.”
And having about 30 minutes with three women and two women who had been sexually harassed by clergy members, the leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics said: “I promise that all those responsible for the sexual abuse of children will be punished.”

On a note of finality, Pope Francis believes that sexual sins, especially against youngsters and women can no longer be kept secret as God is always unhappy anytime such acts are being perpetrated.
Meanwhile, the revered cleric recently proved to be a good role model, which Nigerian clergymen are expected to emulate to make Nigeria a better place.

Boko Haram attacks render 800, 000 people homeless in two months

A spike in violence by Boko Haram militants in northeast Nigeria has forced almost 800,000 people to flee their homes since June, and stretched humanitarian efforts to breaking point, aid agencies said on Friday.
More than 2.1 million people – or 300,000 households – have been uprooted in northern Nigeria since Boko Haram launched an uprising in 2009, according to data from the International Organization for Migration.
Boko Haram has killed thousands of people in a six-year-old insurgency to create an Islamic State in the northeast of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation.
The insurgents scattered earlier this year after an army counter-offensive, but have since returned to a strategy of selective attacks in which they have bombed or fired on targets in public places such as markets

and places of worship.
The Islamist militants have launched cross-border attacks, triggering displacement and hunger in neighbouring Chad and Niger.
“This is a massive regional humanitarian crisis, with some of the highest human cost in the world,” Red Cross spokeswoman Aurélie Lachant told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
“Civilians continue to be victims of the conflict… aid is still not reaching hundreds of thousands of people.”
Around nine in 10 internally displaced people in Nigeria are living with host families – with the rest residing in refugee camps – and many are yet to receive food, water, shelter and healthcare, aid agencies say.
The number of people seeking refuge in local communities has put strain on those hosting the displaced, according to medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
“Aid agencies are stretched beyond their limits and host families are living beyond their means… they are exhausted and running out of resources,” MSF’s head of mission in Nigeria, Ghada Hatim, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The MSF’s ambulance service was running non-stop to deal with the surge in people fleeing their homes, which has pushed its health facilities to full capacity, Hatim said.
An outbreak of cholera was feared due to the rainy season, which runs until the end of September, while some shelters in refugees camps had been flooded, she added.

Schools Accepting 150 Up Without Choosing Them in JAMB

Updated on AUG 20th, 2015

After the 2015 JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result was released, we have posted so many articles to help and guide candidates. The first of them is a resource that we post every year for all candidates to keep tabs on Post-UTME updates of all schools.

We have also posted information on JAMB change of course/institution form, procedure and how to make the choice of your new course and/or institution. The most recent article posted listed some Universities that accepts 180 as JAMB score. That article was borne out of requests from our numerous readers. This article will be useful when you want to make a decision in choosing Universities during change of course or institution.

List of Schools Accepting 150 Up Without Choosing Them During JAMB Registration

For 2014/2015 academic session’s admission, the following schools (Universities, Polytechnics & Colleges) accepted candidates that scored a minimum of 180 but did not make them a choice during JAMB registration. Some even accept 150 and 160 for admission.

Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH)

Ekiti State University (EKSU)

Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT)

Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu

Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD)

Many JAMB candidates who just checked their results have been asking us the cut-off marks their chosen schools would use for the 2015/2016 admission. Let us make this clear right now — nobody can categorically tell you what the schools would use as their cut-off marks right now until the management of those schools announce it.

An example is the case of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) that changed the Post-UTME cut-off mark from 180 to 200 during the 2014/15 admission. Some schools may change cut-off marks for 2015/2016 admission too.

So what are the cut-off marks for 2015/16 Post UTME/Admission?

Like we pointed out earlier, nobody can categorically tell you that right now. What we would do here is to provide you with the cut-off marks each institution used last year for admission. This will enable you to have an idea of what the cut-off points look like.

As schools start to release cut-off marks for 2015/2016 admission, we will update them on our article dedicated to the 2015/16 Post-UTME Screening Updates. You can click on the link to keep tabs on it.

Two men allegedly beat a woman to death then hid her body in a wardrobe while they partied for two days, it was reported. Kyle Starkey is accused of killing his girlfriend Mandy Gottschalk with the help of friend Ryan McBride in what prosecutors described as "one of the most brutal beatings and murders" ever seen.

Starkey allegedly battered 36-year-old Gottschalk to death at the home they shared in Ashtabula, Ohio, while McBride watched, the New York Daily News reported.

The pair then hid her body and "partied" for a few days before burying the corpse in a shallow grave near the house, according to Ashtabula County Prosecuting Attorney Nicholas Iarocci.

A post mortem showed Gottschalk died from blunt force trauma.
Starkey has been charged with murder, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, gross abuse of a corpse, and domestic violence.

A report on Sahara Reporters claim that the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde, has submitted his resignation letter to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Quoting sources in the presidency, the report said Dikko indicated his willingness to leave his present position on August 18, 2015. Interestingly, the Customs boss tenure will come to an end in two years time. It is however unclear why he has decided to vacate his office.

The report however stated that several top-shots in the Customs are currently under investigation for corruption and some of them may be shown the way out or arrested.
Buhari reportedly earlier turned down Dikko’s resignation in order for him to look into the affairs of the service, but later agreed to let Dikko go, even as there are talks that the president is lining a replacement for Dikko with an officer from the South-South region.
Recall that a similar situation played out in the events that culminated in the firing of the former National Security Adviser, Col. Dasuki Sambo (rtd), when the president turned down his resignation, but later fired him.
Dikko’s tenure as the Customs boss has been enmeshed in series of controversy. From the constant allegations of corruption, to his alleged forgery of his academic credentials.
In 2009, one Olajide Oyewole in a video testimony, confessed that he assisted Dikko to illegally obtain some of his academic certificates, belonging to Nigerian Institute of Management; certificates No 10912 and 10993 and West African Examinations Council Certificate No. NGSG 37836.
